Just Writing Love Poems, Yet I Rule the Court?

Transmigrated into the body of a destitute scholar reduced to eating elm-bark porridge, Xu Qing has just one goal: fill his starving stomach. When a spoiled young aristocrat offers him two taels of silver to ghostwrite his school assignments, Xu Qing jumps at the chance. But as he pens one assignment after another, his sharp wit and hidden talents catch the attention of powers far beyond the classroom. Before he knows it, his simple side hustle spirals into a web of political intrigue, and the penniless poet finds himself wielding influence he never asked for—shaping the very fate of the court.
